JD Chapman coming back!

[77Ritchie77]

Hey guys,
will he contend and beat a top ten guy or is he just a guy with an inflated record?

says hes back later this year.

[The Hammer]

Never mind the record, any top 50 HW would beat him easily.

Never heard of him and haven't really heard of anyone on his record apart from a few non durable journeyman, brief look and I can't find any fight footage.

Seems like another David Rodriguez

I remember Chapman being hyped 5 years ago due to his undefeated, but padded, record. It was weird that he all of a sudden stopped fighting in '08 when it seemed like he had a promising career - padded record or not.

Does anyone know why he took a 5 + year hiatus away from boxing? Did he do a prison stint?

He was terrified of Tye Fields who everyone wanted him to fight so he quit.

And now that Tye Fields is retired, Chapman is back - makes perfect sense...
